Pedal Breeders' BIG Board Club Part II: Biggins'

[blindrabbit]

Those Saturn Vs are getting expensive.

That's what I thought too. The thought crossed my mind to pitch an offer on it, but I think I'm going to wait to a) play around more with my Broadcast, b) hear what you think about whatever Hudson pedal you get yourself for your birthday and c) listen to all the Tourbox pedals before deciding what to do with my achingly limited funds.

Guys. This Buzzz. It's seriously quality. It hits some crazy sub harmonics when you crank the starve knob too, it will be amazing right next to the Megalith when I get that!
The Wally is an amazing little looper, very intuitive as well.
The Keeley Bassist is what I was hoping it would be, and what I wish The Warden had been. No color to my tone, but evens everything out amazingly and that's just with using the recommended setting for bass.

Now, I'm about to make a Feedback Friday.

Dude, those are some gnarly toes in the lower right hand corner.

The Buzzz sounds like it is awesome. Dibs on the flip.

Those toes have some pretty bad psoriasis, and have been on most continents of the world. Of course they look gnarly!

Honourable toes, no doubt. Besides, who said gnarly was bad?

I'm glad to hear the Keeley is good for exactly that.

I like the way your board is coming together. That Polytope will fit right in there.

Stoopid question - have you ever tried an EHX superego? I see some parallel fx streams in your future...

I'm also surprised you haven't jumped on @DirtyDuke's Rusty Box. Kinda wish I didn't hesitate on the JHS... Want a good utility pre...

Hey, has anyone here tried out a TC Dreamscape before? I know sometimes you can sneak difference TonePrints into various "wrong" pedals, but this is one where they unquestionably allow for you to use chorus, flange, vibe, and other ones with the one pedal. This could be worth looking into for me, kind of Orbital-like in a smaller footprint and cleaner controls on the pedal yet retaining so much tweakability through the editor.

Is this a real thing? If I get the Dreamscape can I use all tone prints or just certain ones from each?

I've been reluctant to get into pre's because I have a pre in my bass and an eq in my amp so I don't see the point. Either way, I still have a TWA Triskelion, DOD Meatbox, and the Polytope to work onto my board lol.

I've always wanted to mess with the Superego, and almost did but I bought a Freeze and hated it.

The Buzzz is basically the antithesis of the Megalith. While the Buzzz rips, with it's octave switch essentially being a " RIP MORE" switch it will be amazing to pair it with the Megalith which crushes.

I'm trying to figure this out myself. So if you look at the list of officially available tone prints for the Dreamscape, there are a LOT of Corona prints in there, for example.

TonePrints - The Dreamscape | TC Electronic

Also, I'm guessing that if one can get into the toneprint editor and have official access to messing with chorus, flanger, and vibrato functions, there is a LOT than can be accomplished there. Me thinks I need to make a trip to my local store and try one of these out...

That's a cool contrast/comparison. It should be an outstanding pair to have available.

Buzz is set to germanium and high gain.

OMG when did they get CE-1 and CE-2 toneprints?!! Now all they need is a Small Clone toneprint so I can sit around all day and play Peter Hook riffs.

Definitely trying this one now.

Germanium makes everything better.

My lack of a filter and chorus disturbs me.

Sounds like you could use an Orbital. Ever thought of trying the SA stuff out?

I mean, I could have used the Raster in its psycho flangery setting but my board doesn't get spacey enought without a filter and flanger! Oh well.

One day I'll have time to practice my bass again.
